Day before yesterday’s daily K2, published from Gilgit, Rawalpindi
and Karachi with a large circulation, has quoted minister for Information of Gilgit
Baltistan (GB) Mr. Ibrahim Sanaie (repeated yesterday by another Minister Dr.
Iqbal) as saying that Mr. Nawaz Sharif, the PM of Pakistan, was keen to grant full
political, constitutional, social and economic rights to the people of GB
(perhaps meaning merger of GB with Pakistan as one of its provinces).

Mr. Prime Minister, if you follow this idea of merging GB
with Pakistan before its final status is determined, it will amount to a big
blunder on your part as it will bring Pakistan at par with India in many ways, will
rightly annoy a big number of Kashmiris and will also adversely affect the
world opinion about the Kashmir issue. It is for these sound reasons that the
people and political parties of Azad Kashmir (AK) do not make such demands.
Although both AK and GB belong to the same state of Jammu Kashmir. Moreover,
there are many other ways of meeting the genuine demands of the people of GB.
For example, i) GB and AK be merged in to each other as two equal units, ii)
giving similar status to GB as of AK, and iii) giving rights to the people of
GB in any legal form but without merging it with Pakistan as it may affect its world
recognized disputed nature.

Mr. Prime Minister, as
you perhaps know I myself am a resident of GB and have suffered a lot for
demanding due rights for the people of the area. These sufferings include my one
and a quarter year’s imprisonment in GB, twice being deported from Gilgit and
have also written three booklets on the issue. This was my duty as an educated
son of that unfortunate area. However, unlike many others who demand merger of
GB with Pakistan for their limited and timely personal and party interests, I
and my organization, in the larger interest of Kashmiri nation, oppose this
merger before its final disposition is reached upon for my thoughts are not
peripheral and self-centered.

2.The confused type of
support to Kashmir freedom struggle.

Mr. Prime Minister, almost all the political parties of
Pakistan say that they support our freedom struggle for which we thank them all
from the deepest core of our hearts. I have observed you personally saying that
you and your party support our Right of Self-determination (RSD) according to
UN Resolutions and Kashmiri people’s aspirations. However, the last and
effective UN Resolution does not scope for an independent Kashmir thus limiting
the options and curbing the aspirations of the people. While as Kashmiries believe
in three alternate solutions of Kashmir issue ie, an Independent Kashmir or
Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan or Kashmir’s accession to India. However, It will
be kind enough of you, your party and other political parties of Pakistan if
you people could be magnanimous enough towards Kashmir issue by providing a
clear and open stand of yours in favor of Kashmiri aspirations, by not
rejecting any aspired option as a solution and by not limiting its options of
solution to accession to Pakistan or accession to India only. For being a proud
nation, Kashmiri people would want to retain its national identity for all
times to come. As President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari too during his
meeting with a delegation of Kashmiri leaders, of which I and my colleague Mr.
Rafiq Dar were a part of, in President House Islamabad on March 28, 2013, said,
and repeated trice, that he considers Kashmiries as a nation. This very
statement of President of Pakistan meant a lot for us and other Kashmiri
leaders.

3.My common letter to Your
Excellency and to Mr. Modi, Your counterpart in India.

I had sent two common letters earlier
dated 27-03-2015 and 10-09-2015 to both of you subjected as “A
peaceful, practicable, equitable, honorable and everlasting solution of about
Seventy years old unresolved Kashmir issue. The issue is as dangerous today as
ever, having already caused three bloody wars in the past between India and
Pakistan, now both nuclear powers, hence the continued tensions between them
makes it more dangerous for even regional and world peace”.

Solution in a nutshell under the caption ‘The
Gist of The Appeal’ page 10.

I
have so far received responses from some ordinary personalities and none from
the people that could be counted especially you the two addresses. Will you
please pay some attention to my detailed document that includes a covering
letter and common appeal?

The
acknowledgement of this letter shall be highly appreciated.

I
thank you.

Sincerely yours,

An open letter to Prime Minister David Cameron on the occasion of Indian
Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the UKBy: Zafar Khan*

To Remind Prime Minister Modi of India: on the unabated oppression and violations of basic human rights
in Indian occupied Jammu Kashmir, including the denial of right to assembly and
free speech. Denying the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front-JKLF- and the Huriyat Conference
the democratic right to engage with the public.
The rise of extremist communalism and chauvinism with the BJP and RSS
nexus in Jammu Kashmir.

India’s flagrant and blatant
denial of the inherent, inalienable and internationally recognised right of
Kashmiris to self- determination. India’s betrayal of the United Nations’ trust
by reneging on her responsibilities and obligations under the UN resolutions to
hold a fair free and democratic plebiscite on the political status of Jammu
Kashmir. India’s equally utter disregard for bilateralism over Kashmir by
refusal to engage with Pakistan and reneging on the inherent locus standi of
20 million Kashmiris in the dispute.

Mr Cameron the silence and inaction over
Kashmir dispute by the permanent members
of the United Nations Security Council,-UNSC- including the United Kingdom, has
heightened India’s belligerent and truculent attitude on Kashmir.

Mr Cameron, India’s Prime Minister must be reminded on his country’s
solemn obligations and undertakings, to facilitate a free, fair and democratic plebiscite
under the UN’s auspices, so that the will of 20 million Kashmiris could be determined
peacefully, over the political status of their country.

Size of India’s population and economy alone, should not merit a
permanent seat on the UN Security Council for India, as it has patently failed
to uphold the fundamental principles of the United Nations on the Kashmir
dispute.

India’s contribution in the development of constructive and peaceful
environment within South Asia is equally lamentable. Thus can India, especially
under Mr Modi be considered a reliable and responsible state in the region? India has certainly become more belligerent
and hegemonic in the region under Prime Minister Modi and a real threat to
regional stability. Far from seeking a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir
dispute Mr Modi has fuelled an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty.

Mr Cameron, during his visit to the Valley of Kashmir on 7 October,
Prime Minister Modi declared that he would not listen to anyone on Kashmir.
These are hardly the words of a statesman who is out on a mission of peace and
reconciliation on Kashmir dispute and his country’s relations with her
immediate neighbours.

Mr Cameron as you welcome Prime Minister Modi to London your
government is duty bound to take up with him the unresolved political status of
Jammu Kashmir, as the UK is custodian of justice and fair play by the virtue of
being a permanent member of the UNSC.

Mr Modi should be taken to task on communalism, extremism and
chauvinism that has been unleashed under his watch in Kashmir.

He should be taken to task on the oppressive and undemocratic methods
adopted by Indian occupation forces to stifle public expression, and deny the
pro freedom and anti-status quo politicians like Mr Yasin Malik**, their
democratic right to engage with the masses in the public square.

He should be reminded that on 1 January 1948 it was an Indian
government led by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru which took the Kashmir issue to the
United Nations.

He should be reminded that on 27
October 1947 India invaded Kashmir by landing her troops in Srinagar, under the
pretext that the then despotic ruler had acceded Kashmir to India on the
previous day, when in reality he was not in control of the country, as he was
fleeing from his rebellious subjects to
Jammu from Srinagar.

He should be reminded that it is more
credible to believe that a plan might already have existed to invade Kashmir
under the pretext of accession, when British India was partitioned into India and
Pakistan on 14 and 15 August 1947 respectively.

He should be reminded that India
invaded Kashmir to throttle a freedom movement of people who endured
unimaginable suffering and despotism at the hands of their rulers.

Mr Modi should be reminded of the
fact that unlike Pakistan, India refused to enter into ‘Stand Still Agreement’
with the Government of Jammu Kashmir prior to the partition of British India-
which clearly indicates India’s ill intent towards Kashmir.

Mr Modi should be reminded that
newly emancipated and decolonised India had in fact invaded a country that was
an independent and sovereign nation between 15 August, (India’s Independence
Day) and 27 October 1947, the day Jammu Kashmir was invaded.

This is certainly the conclusion
of independent observers on the events of the period which includes among
others, the respected British historian and expert on Kashmir Alastair lamb.
Poignantly therefore, Kashmiris throughout the world, mark 27 October as a
Black day in their history.

Mr Modi should be reminded that there are numerous United Nations Resolutions
which clearly stipulate that a plebiscite under the UN’s auspices must be
facilitated by India to determine the future status of the state of Jammu
Kashmir.

The first of these resolutions was passed in April 1948 then
subsequently a plethora of resolutions followed in June 1948, August 1948,
January 1949, March 1950, March 1951 and January 1957; all these resolutions
require the state of India mainly, to facilitate a plebiscite for determining
the status of Jammu Kashmir with unfettered participation of the populace in
the plebiscite.

Mr Modi should be reminded that India made many commitments and
pledges at the UN, including the following to comply with the wishes,
aspirations and rights of the people of Kashmir:

“that
the question of Kashmir’s future status vis-a-vis its neighbours and the world
at large and the question on whether Kashmir should withdraw from her accession
to India, and either accede to Pakistan or remain independent with a right to
claim admission as a member of the United Nations all this we have recognised
to be a matter for unfettered decision by the people of Kashmir after normal
life is restored to them”UNSC document Agenda 227.

How ironic then that India demands a permanent seat on the UN Security
Council while she has completely reneged on her solemn commitments and obligations
in relation to the Kashmir dispute.

India has failed to honour the Shimla Accord of 1972 with Pakistan that
required both countries to resolve the Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes
of the Kashmiri people. We believe Pakistan should now rescind the Shimla
Accord because it no longer has any validity due to India’s refusal to engage
on the question of Kashmir’s future political status under its framework.

Today Mr Modi and his lieutenants have gone as far as to say that
there is no Kashmir problem or Kashmir issue, as was declared quite blatantly
by Mrs Sushma Swaraj, the Indian Foreign Minister in September 2015, at the UN
General assembly in New York.

It is incredible therefore that India is demanding a seat at the top
table in the comity of nations when she does not care to honour the resolutions
of this August world body, which with the purpose of its inception, is bound to
uphold the fundamental principles of justice, liberty and democracy for the
subjugated, dispossessed and colonised people of the world like the 20 million people
of Jammu Kashmir across both sides of the Line of Control-LoC- .

Sadly Mr Cameron the UN and the permanent members of the UN Security
Council, on the question of Kashmir’s future political and constitutional
status, have also patently failed the 20 million Kashmiris on their inherent
and inalienable right of self-determination. United Nations Security Council inaction
has embolden India to hold on
to Kashmir with the force of arms as there are over 700-000 Indian military and
paramilitary forces of occupation in the territory.

These forces, over the past 27 years in particular, have killed around
100-000 people, with thousands missing and many hundreds buried in unmarked
graves throughout all parts of Indian occupied Jammu Kashmir. Over these 27
years the Indian forces have committed some of the most outrageous acts of
brutality against a defenceless people including rape and torture.

Mr Cameron Prime Minister Modi should be taken to task on the extremism and chauvinism that his political rhetoric
and Hindutva ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party- BJP- has encouraged in Jammu
Kashmir. Mr Modi’s BJP led government has aggressively pursued its chauvinistic
political ideology and has orchestrated to subvert the harmonious social
character of society in Indian occupied Jammu Kashmir.

Mr Modi never tires of reminding the world of India being a democracy of
one hundred and twenty five crores-1.25 billion- people. In reality however
Indian democracy is defunct and quite tenuous beyond the borders of Jammu Kashmir.
As if presence of 700, 000 military and para military forces of occupation was
not sufficient in Indian occupied territory, the BJP government has unleashed
forces of extremism that have become out of control in Kashmir.

The ultra-right wing extremism and chauvinism of Rashtriya Swayamsevak
Sangh (RSS) Shiv Sena, Vishwa Hindu Prashad (VHP), and an assortment of other
belligerent extremists, have taken lead from Prime Minister Modi’s Hindutva
ideology and bellicose political rhetoric that has given rise to extremism
which has crossed all limits of decency and civilised behaviour.

Mr Cameron political and democratic expression is being stifled
through a combination of militarised oppression, violent extremism, chauvinism
and acts of communalism of
the BJP and the RSS. Anti-status quo popular leaders like Mr Yasin Malik are
prevented contact with masses in an alarming frequency which is an affront to
democracy and would not be tolerated in a democratic society.

As can be seen below, Mr Malik for example has been arrested or put
under house arrest dozens of times over the past year. Only in the period of
last couple of months alone he has been prevented from participating in public
events and activities many times. During the 2014 assembly elections Mr Malik was
incarcerated throughout the seven week long election process. He was denied not
only contact with the public but the occupation authorities violated his
fundamental democratic right of assembly and free expression, by keeping him in
custody.

Soon after coming into power Mr
Modi intended to change the character of Kashmiri society on the one hand, and on
the other Kashmir’s relationship under the so called accession treaty with
India- a treaty which in reality is temporary contrary to India’s claim that
Kashmir is an integral part of its union. Within first 5 months of his
Premiership Mr Modi visited Kashmir 8 times to bring about his intended change.
In the assembly elections he had hoped to secure a majority for his BJP which
he failed to obtain despite investing so much time and effort.

Mr Modi’s party however secured 29 seats in the 87 seat assembly but
all of the seats were won from the Jammu province. This result reflected the
communal polarisation of Kashmiri politics with the Modi factor that fanned the
flames of BJP/ RSS Hindutva extreme chauvinism, especially in the non-Muslim
majority Jammu province. Mr Modi’s government however forced a coalition with
the Peoples’ Democratic Party and with the PDP began to influence policies and
actions that have further communalised sections of society within the Jammu
region with extreme chauvinist Hindutva political rhetoric.

Repressive and heavy handed actions against the JKLF- and in particular
its Chairman Mr Yasin Malik, as well as other anti-status quo leaders have
increased over the past year.

Mr Modi wished to abrogate article 370 of the Indian constitution which
affirms the autonomous status of Jammu Kashmir, and stipulates the temporary
and provisional
nature of its relationship and arrangements with India.

However Mr Modi’s failure to have article 370 abrogated led him to
embarked upon creating ‘facts on the ground’ by
making demographic changes both in Jammu as well as in the valley of
Kashmir.

Kashmiris however whemently opposed the BJP machinations with
political activism by the anti-status quo leaders like Mr Malik. The coalition
however has exacerbated the political atmosphere due mainly in its failure to
curb the rise of communalism and chauvinism of the BJP and RSS in Jammu region
of the state.

Mr Cameron death of a young truck driver Zahid Rasool Butt (succumbed to
his injuries on 18 October), who was attacked by RSS backed extremists in Unhamper,
is a sad example of this state of affairs that now prevails in Jammu Kashmir. Yasin
Malik has called this state of affairs a handiwork of rulers who have created an
‘atmosphere’ that ‘pollutes and communalises’ society. Communal extremist and chauvinists act with
impunity as they have no fear of penalties or legal retribution and their actions
are an attempt to vitiate the traditional socio- cultural and political
solidarity of Jammu Kashmir. Mr Cameron, it seems Prime Minister Modi is
engaged in policies that would eventually lead to bifurcation of Indian
occupied Jammu Kashmir on communal and religious lines.

Mr Cameron the BJP and RSS led extremism is a direct result
of Prime Minister Modi’s political rhetoric which gives the extremists
a green signal in adopting social, cultural and political chauvinism, that
prior to 2014 had not been a factor in Kashmiri society and most definitely
unheard of in the power politics within Indian occupied Jammu Kashmir.

The BJP and RSS extremism is a dangerous and troubling development
that would further polarise Jammu Kashmir on religious lines. The ideological
collusion and nexus of the BJP and the RSS is a toxic mix which creates fear,
intimidation and violence that does not bode well for peace and communal
harmony in the region as a whole and Jammu Kashmir in Particular. The presence
of more than 700,000 military and paramilitary forces of occupation further
emboldens the unholy nexus of these forces of communal disharmony and extremist
chauvinism.

Mr Cameron the state oppression and denial of free movement, assembly
and free speech is an intolerable situation, to which Mr Yasin Malik and other
prominent anti-status quo leaders are subjected to day in day out. Prime
Minister Modi’s frequent refrain of India being a democracy of 125 crore loses
its meaning when a popular leader of Yasin Malik’s** stature is taken in
custody or put under house arrest even during the wedding of his close family
members.

As an example the following is an account of Mr Malik’s arrests since
August which is a serious indictment against Mr Modi’s ‘democratic’ India.

Details
of Mr. Yasin Malik’s arrests and house arrest from August 2015.

Mr
Cameron the method and manner of Mr Malik’s arrests, is clearly undemocratic
and devoid of any justification. Mr Malik is a popular leader who commands respect
and love of his people and by denying him direct contact with the masses is a
serious disregard of his political and democratic rights. Mr Malik’s frequent
arrests and denial of his right to engage with the public is a clear indication
that India fears the popular Will of the Kashmiri masses.

Despite
India’s incessant mantra that Kashmir is an integral part of India or that
Kashmir issue does not exist, and that it is all due to Pakistan’s ‘involvement’,
and that people of Kashmir are ‘happy’ with India; all that can be said in
response to the above, is that India should allow democratic, moderate and
popular leaders like Yasin Malik to engage in the public square freely and without
harassment and intimidation; and that she should allow for a conducive
political environment to emerge for the long awaited UN sanctioned and supervised plebiscite to take place.

Mr
Cameron this is a challenge India and above all its current Prime Minister Mr
Modi is not prepared to accept. He denies the leadership and the people of
Kashmir, to have a say on the future status of their country in a democratic
and free popular expression. India’s intransigence and prevarications over Kashmir
are a clear betrayal of the UN’s trust over India’s obligations on Kashmir.

Mr
Cameron Pakistan too considers the Kashmir issue and the dispute as an ‘unfinished agenda’ of the partition of British
India. It therefore becomes all the more important that the dispute is resolved
in accordance with the democratic Will
and fundamental rights of the people.

Regrettably Mr Cameron your
Government considers India as a responsible state that it can be trusted with
permanent membership of the UNSC. For
Kashmiris however United Kingdom’s approach amounts to rewarding India for her
intransigence and betrayals over its obligations, both at the UN as well as in
bilateral commitments on Kashmir. As a permanent member of the UNSC Britain has
an obligation to ensure that Kashmiris are allowed the opportunity to exercise
their inherent and inalienable right to self-determination through a democratic
referendum or a plebiscite.

The question that Kashmiris
justifiably ask of powers like the UK with important positions in international
affairs- are they prepared to make a stand for the rights of 20 million Kashmiris to self-determination and
are they principled enough to take an
Indian prime Minister to task on the Kashmir dispute?

Mr Cameron it is on such a matter
of principle that a British government
in 1982 dispatched military task force thousands of miles away to the Falkland
Islands to defend and protect the right of just 2,900 (2013 figures)
Falkland Islanders to self-determination. Equally important example is of the
September 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, which your government
willingly allowed to take place. The struggle of people of Kashmir is a
struggle to exercise the very right that in September 2014 six million Scots were
allowed to exercise, to either break or keep their union with the United
Kingdom which they had entered into in 1707.

Mr Cameron, contrary to India’s
claim the so called Kashmir’s accession treaty with India, obtained through
questionable circumstances, is temporary and provisional in any case. Furthermore
there are at least a dozen UN resolutions in recognition of the Kashmir dispute
that are yet to be implemented. Mr Modi and his government may wish to ignore
these historic dimensions and facts of the Kashmir dispute, but the facts on
ground are that over the years the people forcibly divided Jammu Kashmir on
both sides of the LoC have not reconciled with the status quo.

However Kashmiris want peace for
themselves and between India and Pakistan. They have a strong desire for their
country to become a bridge of peace and prosperity, and not a bone of contention and
enmity in the South Asian sub-continent.

Mr Cameron it is an absolute necessity
therefore that constructive engagement and dialogue takes place between the
concerned parties. Thus far unfortunately Mr Modi has shown no desire for
dialogue with Pakistan and the Kashmiris. Even visits of Kashmiri leaders to the
Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi prompts Mr Modi’s government to cancel
scheduled meetings between Indo-Pakistan Foreign office officials. It is
therefore a duty and responsibility on a world power like the UK to take Mr
Modi to task on such an unbecoming and unreasonable attitude on the question of
Kashmir’s future status.

Mr Cameron as long as powerful
country like Britain, with privileged position in world affairs, maintains the
view, that the “pace and scope” of interaction over Kashmir is up to India and
Pakistan, unfortunately such a passive British ‘nudge’ and position will add no moral or diplomatic pressure on
Prime Minister Modi to be constructive over resolving the Kashmir dispute. Furthermore
as permanent member of the United Nations’ Security Council such a passive
British position on an extremely dangerous issue, that could precipitate a
catastrophic fourth war between India and Pakistan, is an abandonment of
international responsibility and an utter disregard for the 20 million
Kashmiris and their fundamental democratic right to self-determination.

The meeting was supervised by the president JKLF Luton Branch Raja Kaman Afsar
Khan and the conduct of the meeting was carried out by Luton Branch general
Secretary Liaqat Lone.

The agenda of the meeting was Community Mobilization regarding Indian prime Minister
Narendra Modi,s visit to UKon 12 &
13 November 2015.

Apart from the Branch members, The president JKLF UK Zone Sabir Gul and General
Secretary JKLF UK Zone Syed Tehseen Gilani were Also present.

Sabir Gul concluded the meeting that Kashmir have seen limitless tragedies and
five lakh Kashmiri have sacrificed their lives for freedom. We will not welcome
the person whose hands are smeared with the blood of Innocent Kashmiris.

Our struggle is peaceful and we will continue our struggle until we get the
unfettered right of self determination.

Gul reiterated his appeal to the
Kashmiri diaspora in UK to make "This Protest" a success" to
inform the whole world that Kashmiris Will not accept anything less then
freedom.

London (09 November 2015): Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) London Branch meeting was held on Saturday 7th November to discuss and make arrangements for the protest against Indian Prime Minster Narendra Modi’s visit to the United Kingdom.

It was decided that maximum number of people will be encouraged to attend this protest. JKLF London Branch along with all the organisational branches in UK will attend this protest in huge numbers and with full force.

Meeting was attended by all office bearers of London Branch and discussed many ideas as how to make this protest successful. It was also decided to drive large vehicle around Governments offices especially Downing Street where Narendra Modi is scheduled to meet British Prime Minster David Cameron. The vehicle will be decorated with banners, highlighting gross Human Rights violations in Jammu Kashmir in order to draw attention from the public and world media present in London to cover this visit.

The van will also be touring around Wembley stadium in London on 13th November, where Narendra Modi is expected to address Indian diaspora gathering.
